DeviceMaster Programming an IPv6 Address

After installing the hardware, you can program the network information (IPv6 address) into the DeviceMaster (DeviceMaster DM-2000 series, DeviceMaster PRO, DeviceMaster RTS, or DeviceMaster Serial Hub).

If you want to program an IPv6 address, you have two methods available:

  • Use the DeviceMaster web page (SocketServer/NS-Link) by initially accessing the web page with an IPv4 address.

    [Note]
    Note

    The default IPv4 address is 192.168.250.250. You can use PortVision DX to program an IPv4 address.

  • Use the IPv6 link local address in a browser that support IPv6.

This procedure supports SocketServer v11.00 or higher.

  1. If necessary, configure an IPv4 using PortVision DX.

  2. Open your browser and enter the IP address.
